[c-nsp] WS-X cards on Cat6500 with VPLS

[Marlon Duksa]

Got it. Thanks much. One more question. Can 7600 line cards (ES20, RSPs...)
be reused in cat6500 chassis with the proper IOS (12.2(33).SRD). In other
words can 6500 chassis be converted into 7600 and vice versa?If not, do you
know why? The chassis look exactly the same.
Thanks,
Marlon
